Planning Artificial Greenery for a Hotel Lobby

Planning Artificial Greenery for a Hotel Lobby. Plan lobby greenery around guest routes, reception visibility, ceiling height and maintenance access.

Map the movement of guests

Trace the route from the entry to reception, lifts and seating. Place feature trees at the edges of those routes and have the facilities team confirm required clearances. Keep signs and queue sightlines easy to see.

Choose two different scales

A feature tree can anchor a tall open seating zone. Use a compact arrangement on the reception counter where the staff and guests still need to see each other clearly. Record cleaning access and the delivery route before specifying large planters.

Before you decide

For a larger project, share a floor plan, ceiling height and photos of lighting with the supplier. Include the route from the loading area and ask who will handle final positioning.

Walk the lobby at two times of day. A route that seems clear before check-in may become busy when guests queue with luggage. View the proposed display from the reception counter as well as the doorway, and confirm it does not hide service signs, access controls or the view to the lifts.
